    Buddy Predicts BIGGEST Upset Of The Year | AFL Round 17 Preview

    Buddy Franklin is back and firing with his hottest tipping streak of the year — and he's got another massive Big Call! In this Round 17 Preview, The boys runs through every game of a full round of footy (finally, no byes!) — from Brisbane's chance to get their season back on track against a rusty, holidaying Geelong, to a Sydney side under real pressure at home against a gritty, resurgent Bulldogs. The boys back the Crows for a huge Perth statement, tip Hawthorn to stay unbeaten in Launceston, and Buddy's Big Call is the biggest upset of the year. Plus, the boys debate whether Gold Coast should finally unleash their struggling No. 1 draft pick, whether Ross Lyon ever cops the scrutiny he deserves at St Kilda, and why Port Adelaide are a genuine danger side.

    Buddy Makes SHOCK Pick As The "PERFECT FIT" For Zac Butters | AFL Round 16 Review

    Buddy Franklin is back from the premiere of his marathon documentary The Long Run — and the boys waste no time getting stuck into a huge Round 16! In this Round 16 Review, The Buddy & Shane Show breaks down a massive week of AFL action — from Fremantle's relentless 14-game run to the top of the ladder and whether they can go all the way, to Brisbane's brutal demolition of the Swans that has Buddy questioning Sydney's depth. The boys don't hold back on Gold Coast's collapse from premiership favourites to 11th, with Buddy declaring Stuart Dew would've been sacked if he weren't Damien Hardwick, plus a big call that Zac Butters is the best player in the competition and worth far more than Richmond's reported $18 million. Shane goes on a full soapbox rant about clubs letting their best kicks waste time kicking in from fullback, Buddy backs Hawthorn's "even" list and Sam Mitchell to win it all, and the boys break down how the new umpire stats could reshape the Brownlow — with Nick Daicos tipped to poll big. Don't miss Buddy's Young Star of the Week, the Better Beer Big Moment, and plenty more.

    Buddy's back after being taken out by illness — and he's come back swinging! In this Round 14 Preview, The Buddy & Shane Show dives into the Gold Coast Suns' player exodus crisis (Ben King, Humphrey, Jed Walter all linked away), debate whether Zac Butters is now the best player in the competition ahead of Isaac Heeney, and get stuck into Essendon's ongoing management problems. Plus, who should coach Carlton, Essendon, and the new Tasmania side? Buddy makes a surprise call on Cameron Bruce for Carlton.

Plus, the boys pay tribute to the Big Freeze and Neale Daniher, debate whether AFL coaches should have to walk through hostile opposition crowds, go head-to-head on who wins the 2026 premiership, and hand out their Brownlow Medal and Rising Star picks.
